Udupi, Jul 9: Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies are fully responsible for communal tensions in Dakshina Kannada, and not the police, according to G Parameshwara, the president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee.param4param3

Responding to presspersons on the situation in Kalladka and other parts of Dakshina Kannada, after visiting the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple here, Mr Parameshwara said there was no failure on part of the police in Kalladka.

“I regret to say that the BJP leaders and workers are provoking communal passions in Dakshina Kannada. Owing to this, people are losing their lives. Even the Pejawar seer had held iftar to promote harmony and peace among communities. The BJP is doing this with an eye on elections,” he said.

To a query, he said some forces were trying to create confusion in the society over the iftar organised by the Pejawar seer. “We welcome the seer’s move; my party wants harmony and peace in the society,” he said. On the recent visits of former Chief Minister and BJP leader B.S. Yeddyurappa to Dalit colonies in the State, Mr. Parameshwara said that it was all a “drama”.

“If Mr Yeddyurappa was really bothered about the Dalits, he should have tried to do something for them when he was in power. Everyone knows that it being done for political gains,” he said.
